An illuminated manuscript is a book written and decorated completely by hand. Illuminated manuscripts were among the most precious objects produced in the Middle Ages and the early Renaissance, primarily in monasteries and courts. Society's rulers--emperors, kings, dukes, cardinals, and bishops--commissioned the most splendid manuscripts.

Old Irish

Old Irish (Old Irish:Goídelc) (sometimes called Old Gaelic) is the name given to the oldest form of the Goidelic languages for which extensive written texts are extant. It was used from c.AD600–900. The primary contemporary texts are dated c.AD700–850; by AD900 the language had already transitioned into early Middle Irish. Some Old Irish texts date from the 10th century, although these are presumably copies of texts composed at an earlier time period. Old Irish is thus the ancestor of Modern Irish, Manx, and Scottish Gaelic.

Old Irish is known for having a particularly complex system of morphology and especially of allomorphy (more or less unpredictable variations in stems and suffixes in differing circumstances) as well as a complex sound system involving grammatically significant consonant mutations to the initial consonant of a word. Initial consonant mutation must have been present in at least late Common Celtic (Proto-Celtic) because this distinguishing feature has survived with grammatical significance in both modern Welsh and Breton, and the extinct Cornish language also featured. Because the languages belong to the Brittonic branch of the Celtic language group (so-called "P-Celtic"), initial mutation must predate the split in the development paths of the Brittonic and Goidelic languages. No mutations are, however, attested in Gaulish material so a parallel evolution of the phenomenon in the neo-Celtic languages is also possible. Much of the complex allomorphy has been lost, but the rich sound system has been maintained, with little change, in the modern languages.

Syllabus

The Irish syllabus at the Junior Cycle level is aimed at developing the student's aural, speech and written skills in Irish. The examination tests the students on aural, written, and literature skills.
There is an optional oral at Junior Cert Level. Choosing this option aids with pronunciation and speaking Irish for the Leaving Certificate examination.

Higher level

The Higher level examination has three parts, two written papers, which last 3 hours (180 minutes) in total and are worth 240 marks, and an aural comprehension (Irish: Cluastuiscint) examination, which lasts 30 minutes, with a maximum of 40 marks available.
There are certain rules which apply to all students. For example, a studied Novel can only be used in the novel section and students must write only one essay. Students are also required to answer all sections of the exam. Marks will be lost otherwise.

The island's geography comprises relatively low-lying mountains surrounding a central plain, with several navigable rivers extending inland. The island has lush vegetation, a product of its mild but changeable climate which avoids extremes in temperature. Thick woodlands covered the island until the Middle Ages. As of 2013, the amount of land that is wooded in Ireland is about 11% of the total, compared with a European average of 35%. There are 26 extant mammal species native to Ireland. The Irish climate is very moderated and classified as oceanic. As a result, winters are milder than expected for such a northerly area. However, summers are cooler than those in Continental Europe. Rainfall and cloud cover are abundant.

Early Irish Manuscripts Project

The EarlyIrish Manuscripts Project at TrinityLibrary is undertaking the treatment, technical examination and art historical study of four priceless manuscripts. Once complete the manuscripts will be fully digitised and made freely accessible online, allowing researchers around the world to answer important questions about the unique features of manuscripts produced in Ireland during the dark ages.

Conservation at the NLI: The Heraldic Manuscript project

Heraldic manuscripts are unique Irish illuminated manuscripts surviving from the 16th and 17th centuries created by heralds. At the National Library of Ireland, conservators work behind-the-scenes to preserve and conserve these degraded manuscripts. This video offers a brief glimpse into a conservation project; discover more about the science of manuscript conservation on the NLI Blog: http://bit.ly/2mEzGh4.
The NLI has digitised valuable heraldic manuscripts and they are freely available through the Library’s online catalogue: http://bit.ly/2Ddr4Iz
The Heraldic Manuscript ConservationProject (2015-2017) was supported by the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.

Richard Sharpe - Irish manuscripts and the complex page

A presentation by Richard Sharpe (Wadham College, Oxford) at The book: history and practice workshop which took place on March 122012 at the UCDHumanitiesInstitute of Ireland.
The workshop was a unique venture in knowledge transfer between historians of the book and design and typographical experts. The workshop was designed to facilitate a dynamic exhange of expertise between humanities scholars and design experts to enhance the skills capacity and professional practice of both cohorts.
The workshop enabled a formal interchange of knowledge and expertise between historians of the book and design professionals by means of a structured discussion centring on topics of mutual professional interest in book history, book design and typography. Among those who made presentations at the wor...
